System reliability analysis of structures subjected to fatigue induced sequential failures using evolutionary algorithms
… reliability analysis is based off of an a priori inspection cycle time and computes the probability that the time until the system failure is smaller than the given inspection cycle. Since most field practitioners do not know this value beforehand, a new method has been developed to perform …

Optimization of labor allocation at a syringe production facility : work study
… 2. Further improvements were made in reducing inspection cycle time through streamlining of inspections. Identification and separation of tasks which are not performed constantly paved the way for one of the two material handlers to be hired on an overtime basis. Future iterative identification …

Submarine propulsion shaft life : probabilistic prediction and extension through prevention of water ingress
… every 6 years. Designers wish to extend the inspection interval to 12 years without sacrificing reliability. This interval is unprecedented, as no known submarine shafting system is currently operated with this inspection cycle, nor are any known commercial vessel shafts. Experience and …

Predicting rejection rates of electric distribution wood pole assets
… current data to predict the results of future inspections. We study both the possibility of making predictions at the individual pole level, predicting whether a pole will be rejected during the next inspection cycle, and at the aggregate level, predicting what the overall rejection rate in a …

Automated Generation of Geometric Digital Twins of Existing Reinforced Concrete Bridges
… bridge condition data. Based on a two-year inspection cycle, there is a need for at least 315,000 bridge inspections per annum across the United States and the United Kingdom. This explains why there is a huge market demand for less labour-intensive bridge documentation techniques that can …
